I haven't seen any evidence that he cheated on his wife. He was sexting and jerked off over zoom or something so does that count as cheating?? it's gross but is it any different to jacking off to porn?

If you have read Mustaine's books,none of this should be a surprise to you.
Everyone here knows his history. Why are you surprised or upset?
After all,he is just a bass player....as far as Mustaine's bottom line is concerned.
He will hire someone else for much less money and continue to be Dave Mustaine.
Note to self,don't wack off on camera.....anymore.

Yeah, the press release is just optics. There's no knowing what's going on in Mustaine's head. Tour planning, and maybe he was giving him the Michael Anthony treatment, and Ellefson had already given as much as he was going to. How many other stories have their been of long-time band members being reduced to hired guns to satisfy the greed or ego of others in the band? Just speculation of course.
With Dave Mustaine you can't really tell. He has a habit of doing things to suit his own agenda, while spinning narratives that are, at best, opportunistic. I remember when he had his car accident and disbanded Megadeth over that, and it seems like even then people were suspicious of how much of that his was omitting/embellishing.
I doubt this is even mostly about Ellefson's actions.

He will bring Ellefson back, again, whenever the bands popularity goes down... again.

Metallica should never have fired Dave Mustaine.

They probably would not last two albums with him in the band.

I don't listen to either band, but there is something about Dave Mustaine's brand of music that I like. Perhaps it's his lack of pretentiousness? Dave would never have cut his hair for an album cover, that's for sure.

For sure. To me, Megadeth have had the more interesting music in the last ~30 years. It's been interesting following the tack of both bands. Jason is no Cliff, but I feel like I might have liked Metallica's output since AJFA more if Jason had had more influence. Metallica need stronger personalities than Kirk and Robert offsetting James and Lars. I don't look for The Daves to work their shit out via a therapy documentary.

That whole image change during the Load album was Lars' doing. Had to be, he such a pretentious douche, lol. They got the fame with the black album and they had to change with the times to stay popular. I don't think Lars can stand not being popular.

The fact that Lars was never fired is amazing to me. He's got to be one of the worst (professional) drummers ever. Just terrible.

Firing band members is my business... and business is the norm.

Idk the details but Lars started the band with James IIRC. Lars's mother bought James his first amp and then when they became a business I am pretty sure it was not possible to fire Lars even if they wanted to with contracts.
That's my guess anyway. Lars is not great, everyone knows it. Sometimes he isn't even good at all. BUT what he does works for Metallica and tbh back in the heydays he wasn't all that bad. For mainstream rock/metal at the time of "One" Lars killed it in a good way. He has some decently yet odd timing with fills which I like too.

I'm sure he would not cut his hair. But he would've fired everyone by the second album, and Metallica would be Megadeth, with a different name.
Megadeth was an incredible band until Rust in Peace. And just like Metallica got very commercial with the Black Album, Megadeth got very commercial with Countdown to Extinction. None of them were ever as good again. And they will never be. Like James would sing "Sad but true".

If it was a man sharing videos like that it would be considered revenge porn. The only victims here are Ellefson and his family

Jr is a "pastor", a "family man" with grown kids.
LOLZ!
As a public figure with a 40+ year career in music in an iconic band he's a fucking moron to jack off on cam online while being in one of the best thrash bands of all time.
I don't blame Mustaine one bit, Jr soiled the brand right AFTER Mustaine beat cancer.
Oh yeah and Dave has a young daughter as well and I am sure that played into his decision.
Look at how professional Kiko is, clinics, tutorials, solo albums that kill, lessons, endorsements, he's constantly on ig giving away the technique and theory for free.
Do you think dave has time for elf jerking off with some teeny bopper and getting played/filmed in the process?
Seriously, do the math... Jr is a huge Liability from any angle as his judgement is shit.
Jr should have discreetly set up a side piece and actually gotten some pussy
Instead he loses the gig of a lifetime and never even got any.
I've never seen the game played so poorly.

I tend to agree. At best, what Junior did is embarrassing. Very embarrassing. I really don't blame Mustaine for wanting to separate his band from that.

Nailed it. They’ve both sucked since TBA and RIP. There were far purer and hungrier bands in the underground laying waste to them by then, that were far more worthy of my cash.
Mustaine has always been one of the biggest douchebags in the business. This shouldn’t surprise anyone. That being said, Megadeth would be a walking punchline/meme factory if Megadave didn’t boot him. Everybody jerks off, but getting caught is not cool.
